 The 6 February NBA trade deadline is around the corner. All the teams in the NBA league will soon be revealing whether they have traded players for the long haul. They could also have done it just to sell off assets to focus on the draft and free agency. The Golden State Warriors are currently at the bottom of the NBA [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/] league and are looking for a good trade. D’Angelo Russell is already part of the trade rumours. D’Angelo Russell [https://g.co/kgs/P6WXHr]‘s advanced metrics are low. His per-game numbers have done little to keep the Warriors from having the league’s worst record, and, perhaps most concerning, its worst offense. This gives the Warriors an incentive to trade Russell out of the team. Recently, news came out that the Warriors are open to hearing pitches from rival teams for Russell’s trade. According to Marc Stein, the Warriors were previously thought to have been waiting until draft time. These beliefs are now dismissed. Sources say that they are open to listening to those interested in D’Angelo Russell. TEAMS TRYING TO GET D’ANGELO RUSSELL Originally, the Minnesota Timberwolves showed interest in D’Angelo. They offered up Andrew Wiggins as bait. Russell is a subject of interest for the New York Knicks as well. They have discussed potential trade packages with the Warriors. Russell is having a career year, putting up 23.8 points and 6.3 assists. He was dealing with various injuries on an already injury-riddled Warriors team. Golden State may wait to trade Russell until the summer, despite all the chatter. More teams can offer enticing deals, as a result. The deadline may see Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks being traded by the Warriors. The 23-year-old may find the perfect suitor in the New York Knicks. The team is reportedly willing to include Bobby Portis and Frank Ntilikina in a potential trade deal. As for the Warriors, acquiring Portis’ and Ntilikina’s expiring deals should help relax their salary cap situation for next season. 

The Golden State Warriors are looking for a good trade.The New York Knicks are
apparently interested in D'Angelo Russell.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Golden State Warriors</h2>
<h2>History</h2>
The Golden State Warriors was founded in 1946 as the Philadelphia Warriors by then-owner Peter A. Tyrrell. The Warriors were one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America and won the inaugural championship during the 1946-47 season. The team then again clinched the title in the 1955-56 season.

In 1962, new majority owner Franklin Mieuli relocated the Warriors to the San Francisco Bay Area, and the team was renamed the San Francisco Warriors. After another ownership change, the team started playing most of its home games in Oakland. Before the start of the 1971-72 season, the team adopted the name Golden State Warriors.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-255974 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200423163445/nba_goldenstatewarriors.jpg" alt="Golden State Warriors" width="600" height="319" />
<h2>Who is the owner of the Golden State Warriors?</h2>
The current majority owner of the Warriors is Joseph Steven Lacob, who is a businessman. Interestingly, he initially became a minority owner of the Boston Celtics in 2006. Then, in 2010, Lacob with minority owner Peter Guber bought the Warriors for $450 million from Chris Cohan. This required Lacob to sell his share of the Celtics. Lacob is not just an owner - he is a massive fan. Notably, he had been a Warriors' season ticket holder for over a decade before he purchased the team.

Lacob reportedly has an estimated net worth of $4 billion. He came from quite humble beginnings and couldn't afford college because of his family's financial constraints. So, he had to take a year off and work for the money for college. Lacob became a serial entrepreneur and reportedly invested in over 50 start-ups, of which around 30 were quite successful. His biggest financial success was when he was a partner in Kleiner Parkins. He then started his own business in 1987 after leaving Kleiner Parkins.
<h2>Who is the General Manager of the Golden State Warriors?</h2>
The Warriors are without a General Manager for the time being after Bob Myers stepped down from the role of President and GM in May 2023. Myers has been an integral part of the Warriors during his 12 years in the management. He played a huge role in the team's success in recent years, overseeing the onboarding of some of the most important players - Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins, among others. He was also instrumental in the extension of superstars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
<h2>Team sponsors</h2>
The Golden State Warriors signed a three-year $20 million-per-year jersey sponsorship deal with Rakuten in 2017. This deal became the biggest jersey sponsorship deal in the NBA at the time. After renewing the contract in 2021, the Warriors then extended the deal recently in 2022, reportedly for $40 million annually. Some of the other major sponsors of the Dubs are Verizon, Clorox, Betway, Biofreeze, DoorDash and Fanatics.

<h2>Achievements and wins</h2>
The Golden State Warriors are the third most successful team in the NBA with 7 championships. The Dubs are behind the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers who have 17 titles each. The Dubs surpassed the Chicago Bulls with 6 titles after clinching their 7th ring in 2020. Even though they are far off from the Celtics and the Lakers, the Warriors were the first-ever champions. They won the title in the inaugural BAA season in 1946-47 led by basketball legend Joe Fulks. The NBA considers this an official title since the Warriors were one of the founding members of the BAA which then evolved into the NBA in 1948.

After a dry spell, the Warriors were again crowned champions of the 1955-56 season. This was followed by almost two decades of disappointment without a ring. Finally, the Dubs won the title in 1974-75 with the help of legends Rick Barry and Jamaal Wilkes.

After winning the division title in 1976, the Dubs had a lengthy drought of around four decades. They performed poorly for the most part of the 40 years and had just glimpses of hope here and there. Finally, things changed for the better in the early 2010s. In the 2009 NBA draft, the Warriors selected Stephen Curry as the 7th overall pick. Very few imagined that he would be one of the key factors behind the success of the team in coming future.

After minor setbacks and some injuries, Curry hit the ground running. The front office also made some smart moves that made the team stronger. Also, the addition of NBA legend Steve Kerr as the head coach was a huge step in the right direction. Curry and Klay Thompson became one of the best duos in the league. Draymond Green soon became one of the best defenders too. Furthermore, Green's versatility allowed Kerr to use smaller lineups which helped the team massively. The Warriors built a great team with role players like Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston and Harrison Barnes.

With the ascension of Curry as the back-to-back MVP, the Warriors won the title in 2015. After a disappointing finish in 2016, the team acquired superstar Kevin Durant. This further strengthened the team leading to two straight titles in 2017 and 2018. But the Dubs missed the opportunity to win three straight after losing to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 Finals. Curry and the Warriors went on to beat all odds when they clinched the ring in 2022 against the Boston Celtics.
<h2>Key players and coaches</h2>
The Warriors have been fortunate to have had some incredible basketball stars and coaches on their team over the years. They have had Hall of Fame head coaches like Don Nelson, George Karl, Alex Hannum and Steve Kerr. The Dubs have retired the jerseys of legends Al Attles (#16), Tom Meschery (#14), Wilt Chamberlain (#13), Nate Thurmond (#42), Rick Barry (#24) and Chris Mullin (#17) so far.

Notably, All-Time Great Chamberlain made multiple records during his time with the Warriors. He was considered the greatest Warrior of all time by many until the arrival of Stephen Curry.

Now, Curry is a franchise leader in a variety of different categories and has also led the team to four championships. The Warriors are expected to retire the jerseys of current stars Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala in the future for their role in their title runs.
<h2>Rivalry with Cleveland Cavaliers</h2>
The rivalry between the Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers is fairly new, starting when they clashed in four straight Finals from 2015 to 2018. Things started to heat up when the teams first faced each other in the 2015 NBA Finals. The Cavaliers led by LeBron James were no match for the Warriors with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. The Dubs clinched the title 4-2 and Iguodala won the Finals MVP for his all-round performance.

The next year, the Warriors set a new regular season win record with 73 wins and 9 losses. They broke the previous record of 72-10 set by the iconic Chicago Bulls team. So the pressure began mounting on the Warriors to win the title. In the Finals, the Dubs once again met familiar foes, the Cavaliers. The Warriors had a quick start and led the series 3-1.

Interestingly, no team had ever won the title after trailing 3-1 in the Finals. But James, Kyrie Irving and their team did not quit. They took it one game at a time and started winning. This put immense pressure on the Warriors. The rivalry between the two reached an all-time high by game-7 in which the Cavs ultimately prevailed and lifted the trophy.

After the disappointing loss, the Warriors added more firepower to the lineup with superstar Kevin Durant. The team seemed unstoppable throughout the season and playoffs and again made the Finals. The Dubs wanted revenge and did just that by clinching the title 4-1 against the Cavs in 2017. The following year, the Warriors and Cavs faced off once again on the ultimate stage. This time, the Cavs had no answer as the Warriors swept them easily to win their second straight ring.
<h2>Warriors nicknamed ‘Dubs’</h2>
The Warriors are nicknamed the Dubs. According to reports, fans shortened the Warriors to “W’s” and then even shorter to “Dubs". However, the Warriors have certainly earned their nickname winning four titles in the last seven years.

<h2 style="text-align: center">D’Angelo Russell 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
D’Angelo Russell is a six-foot-four point guard who plays for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> in the NBA. Russell was born on February 23, 1996, in Louisville, Kentucky, and his parents are Keisha Rowe and Antonio Russell. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers with the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. 

[caption id="attachment_521859" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-521859" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210120232149/2021-01-02T034100Z_469947246_MT1USATODAY15386815_RTRMADP_3_NBA-WASHINGTON-WIZARDS-AT-MINNESOTA-TIMBERWOLVES.jpg" alt="Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell " width="1920" height="1280" /> Jan 1, 2021; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (0) dribbles the ball against Washington Wizards guard Jerome Robinson (12) in the third quarter at Target Center.

Russell attended Central High-School as a freshman and later transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida. He was rated a five-star recruit and also starred in the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic as a senior. 

The talented PG then committed to Ohio State amid offers from Louisville, North Carolina, and Michigan State. Russell just played one season for the Buckeyes but put up impressive numbers, which earned him a massive reputation heading into the NBA Draft. 

He was named Big-Ten Freshman of the year after putting up <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/dangelo-russell-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">averages</a> of 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. 

As for his love life, D’Angelo Russell is in a happy and committed relationship with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laura.iva/?utm_source=ig_embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Laura Ivaniukas</a>. Russell and his girlfriend made headlines when they took a dreamy vacation in 2020.

Moreover, Russell was also in the thick of media attention in 2017, during his early stint with the Lakers. He recorded a video of former teammate Nick Young talking about cheating on his fiancée, which got out to the public. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">D’Angelo Russell NBA Career</h2>
The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Lakers</a> used their second overall pick to draft D’Angelo Russell in the 2015 NBA Draft. He became a regular starter owing to his impeccable talents, but found his way out of the team because of external controversies. 

Russell was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2017, where he spent two years with the franchise while earning his first All-Star selection during the stint. He was then sent to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden State Warriors</a> as part of the deal which brought Kevin Durant to the Nets.

Russell averaged 23.6 points in his short Golden State stint and notched up a career-high 52.0 while playing for the Bay Team. The promising deal quickly changed hands and Russell was sent to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a mid-season trade that saw Andrew Wiggins joining the Warriors. In Minnesota, he was reunited with his friend <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/karl-anthony-towns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Karl-Anthony Towns</a>. Although his production was limited as compared to previous years, DLo seems to be enjoying playing alongside his friend as they aim to revive the Timberwolves.

<h2>History of Knicks throughout the years</h2>
The Knicks had great success in its initial phase under the franchise's first head coach Joe Lapchick. His coaching style focused on fast ball movement. The Knicks signed six new players, including guards Carl Braun and Wataru Misaka. Under Lapchick, the Knicks made three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals, all of which were losing efforts. Lapchick resigned in 1956 citing health reasons. The team subsequently began to falter.

It wasn't until the late 1960s that the Knicks managed to get back on top under head coach Red Holzman. In the 1969-70 season, the Knicks faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals. The 1964 draft pick Willis Reed was the captain at the time. When it comes down to it, it was Reed's determination that inspired his team to fight. Despite tearing a  muscle in his right leg in the second quarter, he went back on the court for the seventh game. Though he couldn't do much, his genuineness didn't go unnoticed. They won the game by a score of 113–99, allowing New York to capture the title that seemed to have been slipping through their fingers for so long. NY Knicks would go on to win their second title in 1972 after defeating the Lakers in five games. 
<h2>1970s to 1990s</h2>
From 1973 through to 1996, the Knicks would go through a volley of division wins, and playoff losses, getting just that much closer to semi-finals, trades, resignations, draft picks and more. These years also saw some top names like Bernard King, Patrick Ewing, Mark Jackson, Charles Oakley, etc.

Pat Riley accepted the head coach position in 1991 and immediately implemented a rough and physical style emphasizing defense. The 1993-94 season saw the Knicks reach their first NBA Finals since 1973. Unfortunately, the season ended with the Houston Rockets defeating the Knicks 4 games to 3, taking the title with them.

<h2>Mid 1990s to early 2010</h2>
From 1993 to 2013, the Knicks went through a massive downfall. From frequent changes in coaches to trading off players like changing socks, the New York Knicks had their more than fair share of problems. 

A well-known example of what the team went through would be the 2007 controversy of Anucha Brown Sanders, a former Knicks executive. She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the then-president Isaiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden. This resulted in a hefty fine of $11.5 million in settlement between the two parties, not to mention some major questions regarding the management.

A few notable players around this time would include <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carmelo-anthony/">Carmelo Anthony</a>. He sealed the franchise's first winning season since 2001 on April 10, 2011, by scoring the game-winning basket and making a key block in the final seconds.

Another noteworthy player would be Jeremy Lin. Lin was praised for his ability to facilitate the offense, something the Knicks had struggled to do for the first 23 games of the season.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-377575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200915145823/Jeremy_Lin_March_2012.jpg" alt="Jeremy Lin New York Knicks" width="1609" height="1920" />

 He guided the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak, bringing the team back to a .500 winning percentage. This got national media coverage, which led to this period being termed as "Linsanity". 
<h2>2013 to present</h2>
The Knicks also saw changes to business operations in late 2013, replacing general manager Glen Grunwald with former MSG president Steve Mills. They then proceeded to appoint former coach Phil Jackson as president under Mills. In 2014, Forbes ranked the Knicks as the most valuable basketball team at $1.4 billion. On March 2, 2020, Leon Rose was named president of the team, with Tom Thibadeau as the head coach.

The 2022 off-season brought a lot of change to the Knicks' roster. On June 12, 2022, the Knicks signed point guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year contract, with hopes he could bring some much-needed stability to the position. The Knicks completed the 2022–23 season with a 47–35 record, finishing in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Along with the Boston Celtics, the Knicks are one of two original teams located in its original city.  The Knicks held their first training camp in the Catskill Mountains at the Nevele Country Club. Twenty-five players were invited to attend this three-week session. With a roster now, the Knicks held their first game on November 1, 1946, at Toronto&#8217;s Maple Leaf Gardens against the Toronto Huskies. It would also be the league&#8217;s first game. The Knicks defeated the Huskies 68–66 with Leo Gottlieb leading the Knicks in scoring with 14 points.  New York Knicks in a Glimpse   Conference Eastern  Division Atlantic  Location New York City, New York   Team Colours Royal Blue, Orange, Silver, Black, White  Ownership  Madison Square Garden Sports   Affiliation  Westchester Knicks   Championships   TWO (1970, 1973)   Conference Titles  FOUR (1972, 1973, 1994, 1999)  Division Titles EIGHT (1953, 1954, 1970, 1971, 1989, 1993, 1994, 2013)   NBA, Basketball Herren, USA New York Knicks at Orlando Magic Mar 23, 2023 Orlando, Florida, USA New York Knicks forward Julius Randle 30 guard Quentin Grimes 6 and guard Trevor Keels 3 celebrate after a basket against the Orlando Magic in the fourth quarter at Amway Center.

His coaching style focused on fast ball movement. The Knicks signed six new players, including guards Carl Braun and Wataru Misaka. Under Lapchick, the Knicks made three consecutive appearances in the NBA Finals, all of which were losing efforts. Lapchick resigned in 1956 citing health reasons. The team subsequently began to falter. It wasn&#8217;t until the late 1960s that the Knicks managed to get back on top under head coach Red Holzman. In the 1969-70 season, the Knicks faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals. The 1964 draft pick Willis Reed was the captain at the time. When it comes down to it, it was Reed&#8217;s determination that inspired his team to fight. Despite tearing a  muscle in his right leg in the second quarter, he went back on the court for the seventh game. Though he couldn&#8217;t do much, his genuineness didn&#8217;t go unnoticed. They won the game by a score of 113–99, allowing New York to capture the title that seemed to have been slipping through their fingers for so long. NY Knicks would go on to win their second title in 1972 after defeating the Lakers in five games.  1970s to 1990s From 1973 through to 1996, the Knicks would go through a volley of division wins, and playoff losses, getting just that much closer to semi-finals, trades, resignations, draft picks and more. These years also saw some top names like Bernard King, Patrick Ewing, Mark Jackson, Charles Oakley, etc. Mar 12, 2021; New York, NY, USA; Georgetown Hoyas head coach Patrick Ewing coaches during the first half against the Seton Hall Pirates at Madison Square Garden.

The 1993-94 season saw the Knicks reach their first NBA Finals since 1973. Unfortunately, the season ended with the Houston Rockets defeating the Knicks 4 games to 3, taking the title with them.  Mid 1990s to early 2010 From 1993 to 2013, the Knicks went through a massive downfall. From frequent changes in coaches to trading off players like changing socks, the New York Knicks had their more than fair share of problems. A well-known example of what the team went through would be the 2007 controversy of Anucha Brown Sanders, a former Knicks executive. She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the then-president Isaiah Thomas and Madison Square Garden. This resulted in a hefty fine of $11.5 million in settlement between the two parties, not to mention some major questions regarding the management.  SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA &#8211; JUNE 24: Isaiah Thomas attends the 2019 NBA Awards at Barker Hangar on June 24, 2019 in Santa Monica, California.

He sealed the franchise&#8217;s first winning season since 2001 on April 10, 2011, by scoring the game-winning basket and making a key block in the final seconds.

Lin was praised for his ability to facilitate the offense, something the Knicks had struggled to do for the first 23 games of the season. He guided the Knicks to a seven-game winning streak, bringing the team back to a .500 winning percentage. This got national media coverage, which led to this period being termed as &#8220;Linsanity&#8221;.  2013 to present The Knicks also saw changes to business operations in late 2013, replacing general manager Glen Grunwald with former MSG president Steve Mills. They then proceeded to appoint former coach Phil Jackson as president under Mills. In 2014, Forbes ranked the Knicks as the most valuable basketball team at $1.4 billion. On March 2, 2020, Leon Rose was named president of the team, with Tom Thibadeau as the head coach.  The 2022 off-season brought a lot of change to the Knicks&#8217; roster. On June 12, 2022, the Knicks signed point guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year contract, with hopes he could bring some much-needed stability to the position. The Knicks completed the 2022–23 season with a 47–35 record, finishing in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.  Ownership of the New York Knicks Apr 21, 2023; New York, New York, USA; New York Knicks executive chairman James Dolan watches during the fourth quarter of game three of the 2023 NBA playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden.
